Diffusion of a micronutrient home fortification program for infants and toddlers in a multi-ethnic population in rural western China
Disparities in adopting MNP existing among different ethnic groups require more effective diffusion strategies in disadvantaged minority ethnic groups. Enhancing self-efficacy in adopting MNP and knowledge on feeding method of MNP have the potential to make caregivers adopt MNP earlier. Peer networks and township doctors can be effective agencies to facilitate the diffusion and adoption of MNP

In addition, we show that when activism occurs in a response to a social crisis, it follows a temporal framework which aligns with existing social crisis sc…
